In an effort to consolidate the identity of his new unit, Colonel Stirling privately arranged for this insignia to be made up by a Cairo tailor. The cap badge was originally designed as a flaming 'sword of Damocles' but ended up as a winged dagger. The motto 'Who Dares Wins' summed up Stirling's original SAS concept.
After being disappointed with other inaccurate copies of WW2 SAS Cap badges, we decided to research and make the worlds best copies as seen on the caps of David Sterling, John Wiseman and Paddy Mayne etc. Worn on the peaked cap, side cap and berets.
We have attached this aged badge to a genuine WW2 British officers Cap.
It has general service buttons (does not belong to a parent regiment) and brown leather chinstrap. The liner headband is intact and it has 4 ventilation holes at the rear (one missing a grommet). Just like the original the SAS cap badge is mounted on a metal slider plate and is removable. Presumably the badge could then be easily removed during operations.
A very similar genuine SAS Officers Cap sold recently for over £20,000! This one is a snip of a price for a genuine cap and reproduction badge!
